Catching up with the SPOT API

Over the holiday I'm planning on putting out an update of the sample code that uses the SPOT API, both to work with the new format and to work with the JSON representation rather than the XML.  In the meantime, here's a sample JSON element representing a single SPOT tracker message:


{
'    @clientUnixTime': '0',
    'batteryState': u'GOOD',
    'dateTime': '2014-12-19T07:34:35+0000',
    'hidden': 0,
    'id': 349242506,
    'latitude': 64.82709,
    'longitude': -148.99679,
    'messageType': 'TRACK',
    'messengerId': '0-8283550',
    'messengerName': 'Melinda\'s tracker',
    'modelId': 'SPOT2',
    'showCustomMsg': 'Y',
    'unixTime': 1418974475
}

The (minimal) SPOT api documentation is available online here.  More later!
